title: Collaboration to facilitate baccalaureate education in emergency departments.
abstract: The use of emergency departments for baccalaureate nursing education has proved to be a rewarding experience for students, emergency department (ED) staff, and nursing school faculty. The primary factor for the success of this experience was the collaborative interaction of ED nursing personnel, and school of nursing faculty in designing the educational experience. ED staff complemented the faculty role and facilitated clinical experiences for the nursing students. This article identifies various teaching principles and strategies ED staff used to create a successful clinical experience for baccalaureate nursing students.
